They’re yawning. They’re rubbing their eyes. After a long night’s sleep, children should have a nutritious breakfast to get them up and running. It is highly recommended they get around 20% of their daily energy and a significant amount of nutrients, first thing.
Looking for kid-friendly breakfast ideas that even picky eaters can get on board with? Here are some inspiring breakfast recipes for kids to help you make the most important meal of the day, the most exciting one!
This may be one of the easiest breakfast ideas for kids yet! Top up their favourite cereals with a cup of colourful berries. Add a dollop of yoghurt for extra creaminess. Why not sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top too! The intense colours will definitely get your child’s attention, while the combination of flavours will keep them eating until the last spoon. A scoop of peanut butter on top of breakfast cereals is also a great way to add extra protein - a great addition to a kid’s breakfast. Combine it with dried fruit and watch as it all disappears in seconds. For even more inspiring, easy breakfast ideas, check out our delicious cereal toppings ideas!
